Northern Illinois Doodle Romp
When: The Wauconda Dog Park continues to be a great location--lots of doodles in northern Illinois! Not only are there 68 fenced acres, there are many hiking trails throughout the beautiful park. Only a few muddy spots--which of course our Charli was glad to locate! Our numbers keep growing as the word spreads! Join us on the last weekend of each month, alternating Saturdays and Sundays at 11 a.m.
SATURDAYS ON THE EVEN NUMBERED MONTHS,
SUNDAYS ON THE ODD MONTHS.
*** May 2008 romp is being moved to the third Sunday in May (the 18th) due to the conflict with Memorial Day weekend ***
Where: The place: Lakewood dog park in Wauconda (part of Lake County Forest Preserve), located on Fairfield Road, just north of 176. Here's a map- just type in your address!
Here is Lake County Forest Preserve's web site, which has a detailed map of the park and more information.
Everyone is welcome- doodles, honorary doodles, doodle families, future doodle families, etc.
Now for the not so fun part... the park does charge, but the convenient thing is that there is a self serve kiosk in the parking lot to buy daily permits for the park or you can buy them online. Daily permits for Lake county resident- $5 per dog. Out of county residents is $10 per dog. Exact cash or check is required, and you will get a permit to put on your car's dashboard. Permits are also available online here:
Remember: Your dogs must be up to date on all vaccinations, and flea & tick and heartworm preventative.
Dogs must be leashed until you get into the fenced-in dog exercise area. Please close the gate behind you.
We also recommend you bring water for your dog because there will be a lot of running around!
The park is fully fenced and very big!
We hope to see you all there!
see you there!
